Default Re: Barrett Jackson.....

CJ - Being very interested in those cars 20 years ago and a member of the Shelby club and all that goes with that 'Blue Oval' to the core bunch, I remember things that I can't prove w/o some research BUT....CS was caught with his hand in the cookie jar more than once. The so-called missing Cobras, may have been some Mustangs too, was proven to be a scam which CS was intimately involved.

Just like people now build bogus, clone, recreation,
whatever you call them, Yenkos, people wanted Cobras. CS tried to stop them all and when he couldn't evidently wanted what amounted to extortion rather than a reasonable fee.

Remember that was 20 year ago. No Internet and no Google. This is what I remember from the newsletters of the day.
I do recall at the time the real owners absolutely hated the copycats. Visceral hatred. That may have changed. Would be interesting to know.
